LINEAR PROGRAMMING FOR DATABASE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Solving large-scale optimization problems requires an integration of data-analysis and data-manipulation capabilities. Nevertheless, little attempt has been made to facilitate general linear programming solvers for database environments. Dozens of sophisticated tools and software libraries that implement linear programming model can be found. But, there is no database-embedded linear programming tool seamlessly and transparently utilized for database processing. The focus of this study is to fill out this kind of technical gap of data analysis and data manipulation, in the event of solving large-scale linear programming problems for the applications built on the database environment. Specifically, this paper studies the representation of the linear programming model in relational structures and the computational method to solve the linear programming problems. Foundations for and preliminary experimental results of this study are presented.
